I wrote you a poem in primary school, that I lost in a box of my toys

I only hid it away at first, to try to block out the noise

A secret I kept because I was ashamed of myself

I wish I had known better than a child

You can't put broken toys back on the shelf

And sometimes imagination runs wild

And I'm sorry I keep you in shadows

Because you deserve better than me

There are so many things that you'll never know

This is my lengthy apology

I woke up at midnight and went for a drive, it was raining and I
couldn't sleep

I felt right at home, in the darkness, so cold and so deep

All I can think of are the stupid mistakes

The many nights I spent alone

A million voices shake the ground like earthquakes

Can't keep pretending that I'm made of stone

And I'm sorry I keep you in the shadows

Because you deserve better than me

There are so many things I never told you

This is my lengthy apology

I wrote you a poem in primary school, that I lost in a box of my toys

I only hid it away at first, to try to block out the noise

And I'm sorry I keep you in the shadows

Because you can do better than me

There are so many thing that I cannot tell you

This is my lengthy apology

And I know I've been a liar my whole life

But that's all I know how to be

I'll never speak of my secrets again

This is my lengthy apology
